Snow overview for France
It was a beautiful bluebird day for our featured French resorts on Thursday 9th January. Visitors in all French resorts enjoyed unrivalled visibility and milder temperatures in comparison to recent days, creating a comfortable skiing environment. Riders should make the most of the clear skies and sunshine as cloud and snow flurries, creating poor visibility, are likely to return to many French resorts on Friday 10th February.
The southern French resorts were in particularly great shape with a handful of resorts enjoying fresh snowfall on Wednesday 8th February. For instance, Val Cenis (45/200cm) enjoyed a healthy 10cm, Isola 2000 (76/83cm) received a refreshing 5cm and Valloire (100/190cm) had a dusting of 2cm on this day.
It was particularly windy in France on Wednesday, which affected various lift operations across the country. For example, La Grave’s (100/150cm) lift system was temporarily closed because of this reason. However, the good news was that on Thursday wind had largely settled down and La Grave had all three lifts in operation. The Espace Killy, which is made up of Tignes (130/200cm) and Val d’Isere (130/200cm), only had 49 out of a possible 79 lifts open on Wednesday while Thursday saw all but two open.
